How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 52 = 14.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.04 ÷ 52 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/52, so part = 27 × 52 ÷ 100 = 14.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*52. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

14.04 is the 27% share of 52. The remaining 73% is 37.96, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $52 saves $14.04, so you pay $37.96.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 52 by 27% gives 66.04 and decreasing it by 27% gives 37.96. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 48.2092, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
